Jerry Smyth was our mentor that introduced us to Monocoquoe (def. One Skin) construction. He passed away last year after losing the battle against cancer. He is very muched missed. I decided to dedicate the awards to him.
The triangle, circle and square were constructed using monocoque. The plaque is solid walnut in the shape of Indiana.

1024 would like to thank 1501 for this great honor. It's in our trophy case at McKenzie Career center nestled in with this year's regional win trophys and and judging trophys.

I feel bad we aren't going to see you guys in Atlanta... wouldn't mind seeing that awesome catapult (and paint job!) in action again.

p.s. Partially because we got such a cool award from you guys, we'll be awarding 8 teams with the first team awards we (1024) have ever given in Atlanta this year!
